Is it a nanomaterial in the EU? Three essential elements to work it out

Hubert Rauscher et al.

Summary: An updated definition, new harmonised measurement methods, and rules for systematically counting particles have been put in place in the European Union to support the identification and regulation of nanomaterials. These three essential elements provide EU legislators with the necessary tools to achieve regulatory convergence and create a level playing field for all stakeholders.

Counting Small Particles in Electron Microscopy Images-Proposal for Rules and Their Application in Practice

Harald Bresch et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the precise rules for counting particles in electron microscopy and compares four commonly used methods in case studies. The impact of counting rules on particle size distribution is highlighted, aiming to support the use of specific counting approaches to meet regulatory requirements and achieve reliable and reproducible results.

Versailles project on advanced materials and standards (VAMAS) interlaboratory study on measuring the number concentration of colloidal gold nanoparticles

Caterina Minelli et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the repeatability and reproducibility of different measurement methods for the particle number concentration of colloidal nanoparticles. The results show that population-averaging methods have higher repeatability and reproducibility than particle-counting methods.

Rationale and decision rules behind the ECETOC NanoApp to support registration of sets of similar nanoforms within REACH

Gemma Janer et al.

Summary: The new registration requirements for nanomaterials under REACH involve creating 'sets of similar nanoforms' for a more comprehensive human health and environmental assessment. A tool has been developed to assess the similarities between nanoforms based on intrinsic properties, with additional tiers for further evaluation if needed. The tool determines which nanoforms can be justified to be in the same set and provides a basis for REACH registration.

Creating sets of similar nanoforms with the ECETOC NanoApp: real-life case studies

Gemma Janer et al.

Summary: The ECETOC NanoApp is designed to assist industry in registering sets of similar nanoforms and to help regulators evaluate these registration dossiers. It systematically categorizes nanoforms based on their intrinsic properties and justifies their classification using functional properties. The decision rules are transparent and evidence-based, with a focus on human health hazards and risks.
